This is my nominee for the greatest swing song ever, though there's a longer version where the group interpolates a few choruses of "Christopher Columbus" in the middle of "Sing Sing Sing." I couldn't find a video of that one, though YouTube does have it posted as a record playing if you want to give it a listen. This is the Benny Goodman Orchestra featuring Gene Krupa on drums and Harry James on trumpet. Great stuff...

ReplyDeleteReally great stuff, John We were all so young and happy then. They just don't write music like that any more.
